AMVIC-AEON connection

[edit]

only thing I have found so far is this link[1] that shows that a book originally published by AMVIC was republished by AEON (with same author) - not a great piece of evidence but this happened in the late eighties? Ouch that's nearly 20 years ago.... if someone gets ahold of the AEON published book there might be an update that includes info on the split.

AEON-GEOS Split

[edit]

The time article mentions AMVIC vying for a stake in Warner Pacific College, so I'm wondering if that precipitated the split. I haven't found anything that states the deal actually went through. Statisticalregression 14:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

[edit]

The name should not be capitalized, as it is not an acronym like GEOS is. Chris 02:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of Eikaiwas

[edit]

Strangely this Aeon article is the only article of the big school articles that doesn't list Gaba in the listing. Should this be changed so all the lists are identical? --Hydenobuyuki (talk) 16:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

At this time there is only one External link to the offical Aeon website? I would propose this be changed to something like Aeon Recruitment site or Official Aeon Website (English). In addition, I think there should be a link to the company's main Japanese website. The other large Eikaiwa company articles follow this pattern.

Unless there is an objection, this should be added http://www.aeonet.co.jp/index.html Aeon Official Website (Japanese) --Hydenobuyuki (talk) 04:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Big cleanup just now; declaration of interest

[edit]

I added the COI template to my own edit since I work for the company. You will notice though that I have not added anything that is unreferenced or promotional - just the facts. I'm happy to discuss anything you may find contentious, so please leave your messages here.

Regarding the capitalisation issue raised by Chris in 2007, all the company's branding in print, media and newspaper articles in in all-caps, which is why I replaced them. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 14:42, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your honesty and diligence. Per the caps, read Wikipedia:MOSJAPAN#Capitalization_of_words_in_Roman_script. It says no. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 19:02, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I'd never read that page before so thanks for the link! (Personally it looks strange to me seeing it in mixed upper/lowercase because it is ALL CAPS all the time otherwise ;-) Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 23:46, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I took out 'Toronto' from the list. I'm one of the last few hires from there. They've 'merged' with the NYC office and no longer do business from Toronto. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.204.5.22 (talk) 22:21, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
